﻿Nigeria Essay: Oil Theft in Nigeria
One may argue that Nigeria’s GDP comes solely from its natural resources, namely crude oil.

Recent reports have indicated that Nigeria has arrested two Britons and 10 Nigerian citizens for trying to bribe military officers to facilitate oil theft. This is a huge issue because it means that...

NIGERIA AND THE BOMBER: THE GENESIS TO REVELATION
Nigeria is a country in the West of Africa with an interesting population of over 160 million people. A British Colony, Nigeria was hitherto peaceful and seen as key to African development and interests. Such has been the opposite of the true state of the supposed Giant of Africa since gaining independence in 1960 and declaring a Republic in 1961. After years of Military Dictatorship and coups left the country under-developed for much of her...

﻿In an individuals life, 53 years is growth from a toddler through adolescence into adulthood and then maturity.

Civil Aviation in Nigeria is a child of very humble beginnings, a spin-off of the British Colonial rule. But above all else, it is a product of a mere accident of history dating back to 1925 in the unlikeliest of places - the ancient, walled city of Kano.
Sometime in July of that year the Northern city was gripped by a tense stand-off between the residents and the colonial government officials.
The British government at the time was maintaining an active Royal Air Force (RAF) base in Khartoum,...

Its aim is to explain why certain events have unfolded in certain ways, as a result of how states use their power relatively to each other.

Nigeria is a developing country that is abundantly rich in many natural resources and as a result has a good number of multinational corporations ranging from oil companies, banks to consulting firms. Unfortunately, CSR is a concept that I personally believe the government has left to expectations, believing the multinational corporations would do what is ‘right’ by offering certain benefits to the society and the environment. As a result of this approach, Corporate and social responsibility has...

Aliens in Nigeria
Africans have been migrating through out the continent, including Nigeria, long before there was even written record. Because of this, there has always been an extensive amount of inter-mingling between various ethnic groups, making it difficult to actually trace back who came from where. Aside from this amalgamation, there has been a huge impact on the peoples of Nigeria by outside forces. In particular, three major groups that had a major impact were Muslim merchants...

aaamm[email protected]
This essay is an attempt at identifying the remote and immediate causes of the incessant religious crises in northern towns and cities, if you’d rather the so-called middle belt political zone of the north. In expressing this view, there is no intention on my part to mock the bones of those who died so long ago and who tried, however ineffectually, to lead their people....

This study therefore sets out to find the common types of bank fraud that are frequently carried out in the banking system, the underlying causes, level of staff involvement, consequences and possible means of ameliorating the problem. A sample of 100 respondents taken in Benin City, capital...

REVENUE ALLOCATION FORMULA IN NIGERIA
INTRODUCTION
Prior to the discovery of oil in Nigeria, other sectors of the economy thrived. Agriculture, for instance, was a major source of revenue for the Western Region. The Eastern Region that was less endowed devised other sources of revenue. All this has however changed since the discovery of oil in the country. This has led to the demise of the other productive sectors of the economy. In fact, Nigerians are poorer today than they were in the...

ANALYSE THE SETTLEMENT OF NIGERIAN-CAMEROON BORDER CRISIS.
Introduction
Conflict is as old as the history of mankind and therefore normal, natural and unavoidable, yet it can generate negative and very destructive impacts, as well as awareness, economic growth and development (Ivorgba, 2005).

Nigeria is named after the Niger River. A British journalist in the 1890s named Flora Shaw suggested the name because of the river was a dominant presence in region and the name was accepted as the official name of those territories in the Niger Region. (ANYANWU) The country can be divided into three regions that include the forest lands in the south, the Sudan savanna in the north, and the Middle Belt, in between.
Nigeria has an extensive geographic size, with a large degree of ecological,...

The belief system of the people influences the way they think, feel and see things in relations to people of other religions. Unfortunately, Nigeria is a country that is continuously weighed-down by religious burdens. Sustainable religious-peace across Nigeria have been aborted times without number due to the recurrent cases of religious conflicts. As this religious conflict lingers and rears its ugly head in different parts of the country, it continues to direct and influence the perception of...

A cashless economy is simply at its prime when all means of payments are carried out without the use of physical cash. Payments will range from a list of options such as cheques, wire transfers, debit and credit cards, online transactions, and mobile banking. The advantages of a cashless society are enormous; from regulating, controlling, and securing the financial system of any economy.
The Central Bank of Nigeria, led by its Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, has put forward a policy requiring...
